Thank you, this site is a lot more civil I guess than most. This is the first site that I have been on, and I would guess that David keeps it that way. I am sure that I will make some friends here also. I have owned Class III for about 55 years and as you can see, still have a lot to learn. DJ

I like that, but alas I don't think it's going to work this time. I have noted the Tax free Thank you for the come back. we will talk again. DJ

Sorry Rory, I meant T&E Having a hard time with the headache as you put it. I appreciate very much your thoughts and answers and that I need to make a decision. The first thing I am going to do is take that damn 1943 off the Ad. the second thing is figure out what to do about the price. The one thing I don't want to do is break everything up and have to sell parts. I wanted to sell it with everything someone would need to shoot it, have fun with it, or show it, and not worry about having to go out and find something they didn't have. The only thing I don't have is a T&E I never could figure out what good they were outside of WWI in the trenches. I am working on this and will come to a decision soon, Thanks DJ

TOUGH CROWD

As I understand it RAMO did in fact build some factory guns in the beginning. We think this was one of them, it has a lower Serial # than the others that have been sold. I think this one is too perfect to have been put together by somebody that bought a side plate. That said, I brought it up as an honest mistake on my part not knowing that the person that sold the gun to me didn't know what he was talking about. In answer to the price thing, it functions perfectly, it's almost flawless, and I have video of the test firing when I first bought it. I will put it on the site if you like. This is not a gun only sale, most are. The price represents the amount of money that I have spent putting a package together Complete. I did this for me as a collector. PS I think this could be a 78-79 but not sure. However I am sure of when it was sold to the collector that had it before me. 1980 If I cut the price in half, it would not even pay for itself.!

Yes, to all you have asked about. The ammo is in 50 Cal. GI cans 100 rounds per belt, a few cans are not belted. Most of the belted has a tracer every 5th round and some have AP. Since we are talking, GUNBUGS has brought it to my attention that it is not a 1943 because RAMO did not supply M2's during the war. When I bought it, I was told it was. After going down a Rabbit Hole that had no bottom and calling Buffalo Bill Museum and talking Danny the curator. and the Rock Island armory and giving them the serial # it seems no one has the dates when it was built. The guns that have been sold over the years have had higher numbers than mine. Some by 1000 or more. I had a Master Sgt. from the armory come over and show me how to take it apart for cleaning, his comment was that this was a brand new gun. I asked how he knew this, and he told me that all the guns he worked on fell apart and mine had to be pulled apart by hand because of no wear on any of them. I guess no one kept track of #'s or at least no one I can find. I was going to call the ATF and see if they knew anything, but people told me (let sleeping dogs lie). So there you have it! if you have any more questions don't hesitate to text. DJ
